What if the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was even harsher than it was IOTL. The following is an example.
Article I: Russia will recognize the independence of Siberia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Krygyzstan, and Turkmenistan
Article II: Russia will cede Besserabia (Romania was split between AU and Bulgaria) and Crimea to Austria-Hungary
Article III:Russia will cede Armenia, Georgia, Kars, and Azerbaijan to the Ottoman Empire
Article IV: Russia will cede Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Belerus, Azov, Ukraine, and Lithuania to Germany
Article V: Russia must accept blame for starting the war
Article VI: Russia will be forced to pay 900 billion Russian Rubles to each of the Central Powers as war reparations
Article VII: All propaganda directed at any or all of the members of the Quadruple alliance will be banned
Article VIII: Russia must reduce her army to 10,000 men and is forbidden to have a navy or air force
What would be the consequences of this absurdly harsh treaty? Would the Allies be even more determined to fight Germany? Would the Russians be instantly plunged into famine an economic crisis? Would the world be so shocked that they all declare war on Germany? Or would they all be just like "Meh, another day, another country is humiliated and is plunged into civil war and famine"?
